[Leica] New posts from Hoppy

Yes indeed, Ric. However given that she still had the earphones in and just
gave me the serene wave of one used to attention from admirers, I rather
suspect that our communication was largely one sided. I waited for her to
resume her thoughtful pose, rather than still look at me.

Heck I didn't care, it's very good practice to set up the shot and try to
get it done thoughtfully and quickly.

Cheers
Hoppy

While a cocked brow and holding up the camera is often enough to get  
permission, I suspect that actually speaking to this bird was not  
exactly punishment;^)
